We did not touch the PAK code. This error message is generated by the 
new EMC loading code, which was changed to use the IFF parser in 
common/. I also added a check for ReadStream::err() being true at the 
end, if that's the case you'll get this error message you pasted.

So I guess it must be related to the way you handle eof / error bits in 
your file I/O implementation.
